Ingredients

2 cups self rising flour

1/2 cup vegetable shortening or lard

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 stick butter-melted

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Sift flour into a large mixing bowl.

Cut shortening into flour using a fork or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in buttermilk. If dough is too dry,add more buttermilk. If dough is too wet,add more flour.

Knead dough for 1 minute then turn out onto floured surface.

Roll out to 1/2 " thickness and cut with biscuit cutter(use the size of your choice).

Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with melted butter.

Bake on center rack for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Brush with additional butter and serve hot.

Suggestions:

Instead of self rising flour,combine two cups all-purpose flour,1 teaspoon baking powder,1 teaspoon baking soda,and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake as directed.

If you don't have buttermilk,use 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice and add enough milk to make 3/4 cup. This recipe also works with plain whole milk.

Thanks for sharing your Mama's biscuit recipe. I know what you mean about the biscuits or cornbread thing. I'm sure the lard makes these better.

Great recipe. I love the fact that you have included the substitutes for the flour & buttermilk.. I have a hard time finding Self raising flour here & when I do find it, it's usually a very small bag. You have 5 forks from me for so much help
